DESCRIPTION

File::VirusScan::Engine::Daemon::ClamAV::Clamd inherits from, and follows the conventions of, File::VirusScan::Engine::Daemon. See the documentation of that module for more information.

CLASS METHODS

new ( $conf )

Creates a new scanner object. $conf is a hashref containing:

socket_name

Required.

This must be a fully-qualified path to the clamd socket. Currently, only local clamd connections over a UNIX socket are supported.

read_timeout

Optional. Defaults to 60 seconds.

Timeout in seconds for waiting on clamd socket reads.

write_timeout

Optional. Defaults to 30 seconds.

Timeout in seconds for waiting for clamd socket to be writeable.

zip_fallback

Optional. Default is undef.

This config option can be a reference to an instance of File::VirusScan::Engine::Daemon object that will be used as a fallback in the event that clamd returns a 'zip module failure' error.

INSTANCE METHODS
